back on the writing kick. Pretty pleased with myself, in that I set a goal for 20,000 words for September, and I was only 400 shy of 25,000. Not too bad considering I'm still working full time, BNTA produced a show, and I spent five days visiting with friends in Portland. Actually, getting back from Portland I've been a bit of a slacker. Hardly written anything, and for no good reason other than I didn't write anything. . .but the novel is sitting at around 35,000 words, which is right around half a novel, so I can't stop here. Got Mum and Dad reading the first couple of chapters, and so far Dad says he's hooked, and if you know my father he's not just blowing sunshine up my arse.

So if anyone wants to take a look at chapter 1, let me know. I have it on google docs, just send me an email or summink and I can send you the url. . .but bear in mind that it's completely unedited, first draft, working things out as I go along right now. I want to finish the whole bloody thing before I go back and edit it, so it'll probably be the end of the year before I can get on with that.

Or sooner, it all depends on how much motivation I can keep up, so back to it!
